I came to David for legal consultation regarding an issue with terminating my apartment's lease. He was very helpful, listened attentively to everything I had to say, and gave me good advice.

Mr. Payab is very patient and helpful. I appreciate his help.

Marina has been representing me since 2019. She represented me throughout my divorce, as well as child custody issues. She also went to trial with me. I have nothing but good to say about her professionalism and the way she handled and continues to handle my case. She is very realistic and doesn't sugar coat or promise unrealistic things. Anytime that I need to talk to her, she always calls me back right away. Some lawyers tend to be very loud, aggressive, rude and even nasty in court, which irritates most judges. That is not her style. Marina is very respectful and she handles everything with dignity. During court she stays calm, but is very firm at the same time. She is good at exposing lies and knows how to ask the right questions to do that. If yo need a lawyer that dedicates her time, helps to address all issues look no further. PS. If you see any bad reviews about her from a non-client, that's my ex. Which again proves that Marina did her job well.

Clear Conflict of Interest & Utterly Unethical Woodland Hills Family Law Attorney Marina Ayzenstein’s decision-making is utterly unethical and is a clear example of conflict of interest. Marina represented and advocated for a woman who had her ex-husband Nikolai arrested. Marina later represented Nikolai’s newest fiancé, Anastasia, who was also in a family law case with her ex (me). When asked during trial ‘what the heck Marina was thinking’ so to speak, Marina acted like it was no big deal. Marina also argued to the Judge that Nikolai did not pose a threat to Anastasia’s 4-year-old child (who Nikolai is not the father to). Nikolai’s ex-wife (again, she was Marina’s previous client) reported that Nikolai drank and drove and otherwise put a knife to her throat. This man, who is 36 years old at the time of writing and has 8 kids with 3 women, is never allowed to see his son, at least until his son becomes an adult. Marina defended the ex-wife against this violent man…yet in a separate and newer case Marina argued on behalf of this same violent man who is engaged to Marina’s newer client (again, Anastasia). I never consulted with or hired Marina but I did watch her trying to represent Anastasia in my family law case. What good attorney would ever accept Anastasia as a client considering the circumstances and direct conflict of interest? Be careful of Marina…

Professional!

Marina was so kind, caring and compassionate when I was going through such a difficult time. She helped me understand what was happening as it was happening. She is so knowledgeable and I have been very pleased to recommend her to others that need her.

Professional & Responsive

Mr. Payab was very helpful and informative in giving me legal advice! He took time to listen and thoroughly explained in detail everything that I didn't know. I would absolutely choose this law office if I ever need any legal help or consultation.

I agree with the other reviews. David was clear and responsive with my questions. For the topics that he wasn't familiar with, he gave me the information to reach out to who can help answer them. Up front with pricing as well. I did not know most legal initial consultation was free until David mentioned it. Overall, highly recommended and will use the service again!

David was very helpful with my first consultation with him. He directed me to resources that I could take advantage of to resolve my ongoing issue with a rental agency. He was very professional and recommended good strategies to tackle my difficulties. I would definitely recommend him for his legal counseling.
